Chapter 230 Aftermath
  After the goal battle between Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur ended, there was a lot of aftermath.

For the home team fans watching the game, although the situation was once reversed, it was frightening for them to watch.

But fortunately the result was good, and the Nerazzurri successfully won the game in the end.

And the two teams scored an astonishing eight goals in ninety minutes, which was worth the price of admission.

For neutral fans, such a feast of goals coming and going is even more exciting for them to watch.

Audiences who don't pay attention to the Premier League may be relatively unfamiliar with Tottenham's players.

Compared to last season's Triple Crown, this Premier League team doesn't even have anyone who can be called a big-name star.

The most famous player in the world is probably the Dutch golden boy Van der Vaart, who was suspended by Real Madrid for this game.

However, when the game was over, everything was different.

At a critical moment when Inter Milan was leading by four goals at halftime and Tottenham Hotspur had one less player on the field, 21-year-old Welsh youngster Gareth Bale stepped forward.

Bell almost single-handedly penetrated the defense of the defending champion, scoring three goals by himself and almost equalizing the score.

In the Champions League, achieving such a record against the defending champion is enough for him to "become famous with one goal"!

But the key is not just that. The maturity and calmness shown by Bell on the court, his astonishing speed, dribbling and shooting skills all showed to everyone that his goals did not depend on luck.

Some fans who had no idea about Bell before unexpectedly discovered a rising star through this game!

The distant eastern country is even more interesting. Many fans got up the next morning and watched the news after seeing Bell's blood-spraying acceleration and his "monkey" appearance.

I can't help but think of the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who rides on the clouds and performs somersaults on the clouds. Therefore, Bell is nicknamed the "Great Sage".

And this nickname will accompany Bell in China until the end of his career.

After the game, the media, which had good intentions, found a photo of Leo smiling brightly with Bale during his time at Tottenham.

Two young people of similar age who have a good relationship and are equally outstanding are called "Gemini" by the media.

Bell, who was interviewed by the British media after returning to London, fully agreed.

"Leo and I have always been in contact.

My relationship with him is as you said, definitely very good.

The golf celebration I often use was invented by Leo for me. He is a very imaginative player.

Who is better between me and him... At present, it must be Leo, but I am confident that I can catch up with him! "

After watching this game, Moratti also had some thoughts.

He called Leo to his office with a phone call.

"You have a good relationship with Gareth Bale?"

After receiving a positive answer from Leo, Moratti continued to ask:

"Do you think we have a chance of bringing him to Meazza?"

Knowing that the club president wanted to ask this, Leo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“I talked to him about this issue and he said he has no plans for this at the moment.

Of course, no one can say what will happen in the future. If Inter Milan is sincere enough, maybe it can impress him.

If the club has an idea in this regard, I will try my best to promote it.

only……

I know that negotiating with Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, is quite painful and may also be a big obstacle. "

Moratti didn't pay attention to Leo's worries. His father waved his hand and said relaxedly:
  "I will keep people paying attention. I believe that as long as we are sincere and add your invitation, we will still have a good chance of buying Bell."

After leaving, what Leo was thinking about was that hadn't Moratti already thought about selling the club?
  Moreover, Inter Milan has always been in poor financial condition.

Even if they achieved unprecedented success last year, it still doesn't change this fact.

Since Moratti took over the club, he has continued to invest unstintingly.

When the five major leagues started to burn money one after another, Moratti, who had limited financial resources, gradually began to feel a little stretched.

Coupled with the continued recession of Italy's economy and the sluggish development of Serie A, even the wealthy clubs in Serie A are not having a good time.

There is no profit in sight, and the whole business relies on the chairman to continuously invest money out of his own pocket. This kind of operation is obviously not healthy from a business perspective.

Of course, it may be his operation method regardless of his own interests that brought Inter Milan the first Triple Crown in history.

For example, Tottenham Chairman Levina is too prudent and cares about finances. It would be better financially, but let alone the results.

It's a pity that Moratti is not a top rich man. He is rich but not that rich.

His love for Inter Milan is not worth the cruel reality. Moratti has done enough for Inter Milan.

Maybe sometimes letting go is not a better choice. If he is sensible enough, selling Inter Milan at a high price is the most correct choice at this time.

But those are not things that Leo needs to worry about for the time being.

After a shocking 5-3 Champions League match, Inter Milan returned to its former calm.

On October 2010, 10, they continued to sit at home and ushered in the eighth round of Serie A against Sampdoria.

Since Lazio defeated Cagliari 2-1 at home earlier and scored three points, they are currently three points ahead of Inter Milan.

As long as the Nerazzurri successfully win this game, the defending champion will return to the top of the standings.

Cambiasso returned from injury to replace Motta and returned to the starting lineup, then Biabiani replaced Coutinho, and the other positions remained unchanged.

And Samuel finally recovered from injury and entered the squad. Today he is on the bench with Pandev. For Sampdoria, Palombo and Pazzini, who did not travel with the team to Ukraine in the Europa League in midweek, returned to the starting lineup.

Lucchini and Semioli were absent due to injuries, youngster Volta guest-starred as central defender, and Koeman overpowered Marilengo to play right midfielder.

Young player Andre Poli has fewer playing opportunities this season than last season.

It seems that Poli failed to gain the trust of the new coach Di Carlo after Delneri left Samp.

Leo also felt a little emotional when he saw that his former opponent in the youth team could only sit on the bench waiting for opportunities.

The game was played in the rain, and Inter Milan took the initiative to attack immediately after the start.

Leo made a tentative through ball, and Eto'o fired with his left foot from the right side of the penalty area!

The visiting team's goalkeeper Kurci flew over to save the ball!

Italian striker Cassano, who wears jersey No. 99, does not seem to have continued his outstanding performance in the national team to the club.

Maicon was devastated by Bell in the last game, and today he did not dare to underestimate his opponent in the slightest.

Just as Cassano was about to take a long shot from the left side of the penalty area, he was intercepted by Maicon!

Leo sent a wonderful pass during the counterattack, and Lucio stepped into the small penalty area and volleyed with his left foot!
  Sampdoria goalkeeper Curchi bravely pushed the ball out of the near post!
  As for why Lucio, a central defender, appears here, don't ask, ask because traditionally Brazilian defenders are all forwards.

Tisone scored the ball in the middle, and Gubeti's volley from the edge of the right penalty area passed the crossbar.

Compared with Inter Milan's offense, most of the visiting teams can only bombard from the outside and pose little threat.

"Or do they think it's raining today, so it's more suitable for long-range shooting?"

The rain not only drenches the players, but also wets the football, and sometimes interferes with the line of sight.

So when there is no better choice, it is a last resort.

Biabiani cut in from the left to the edge of the penalty area and fired a powerful volley over the crossbar.

Then Cassano passed two people on the right and passed back in an inverted triangle. Palombo passed the ball to the center. Tisone followed up with a long shot that missed the left goal post.

Maicon received Leo's diagonal pass from the right and dribbled the ball past three people and made a pass!

Sampdoria defender Gastaldello's clearance almost missed an own goal and missed the goal post!

Afterwards, the rain became heavier and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Cassano dribbled past Bonucci from the right and passed in, Guberti headed the ball over, Pazzini grabbed the ball in front of the goal, and Cesar blocked the ball miraculously!
  Biabiani was knocked down by a defensive player while accelerating the breakthrough and was injured. Inter Milan was forced to make substitutions.

Coutinho came on as a substitute to replace Biabiani who was injured.

In the 37th minute, Coutinho, who had just come on as a substitute, passed two people on the left and broke into the penalty area to shoot low with his right foot!
  But the opponent's goalkeeper Kurci fell to the ground and fought hard to save the ball!

Then Eto'o's supplementary shot from a small angle also hit the side net.

The slightly boring game scene made the fans who came to watch the game in the rain feel a little bored.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan and Samp were temporarily tied at 0-0.

Entering the intermission, fans in the stands left their seats one after another, those who went to the toilet to go to the toilet, and those who wanted to buy something to eat.

The stands that were not full were suddenly empty.

"Oh, if I had known that I could watch this game at home, I wouldn't have bought a ticket to come to the venue."

"I thought I could easily win against Samp, but who knew the game would turn out like this."

"If the rain doesn't stop later, I will leave the show early and go back. I don't want to get wet here."

……

In the home team's locker room, head coach Leonardo is also using the fans to motivate the Inter Milan players.

"Is your performance in the first half worthy of the fans who came to support you in the rain?

Show some real skills in the second half and let me see! "

In the second half, the game changed sides and Inter Milan took the lead in launching an offensive.

Coutinho received a pass from Cambiaso and made a breakthrough pass from the left. Maicon volleyed from behind and the ball hit the far post and popped out!

Immediately after the home team made a comeback, Leo controlled the ball in the middle to get rid of the defensive players and passed straight into the penalty area!

Milito's shot from close range was miraculously saved by Curchi!
  In the 51st minute, Cassano kicked down Kolarov and stole the ball while counterattacking in the frontcourt.

Then Cassano took the ball from the bottom and passed the ball. Guberti fell to the ground from behind and shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!

One to zero!

Sampdoria, playing away from home, broke the deadlock!

The fans at San Siro believed that Cassano had obviously committed a foul when he counterattacked, so they burst into shocking boos.

Judging from the slow-motion replay, Cassano is indeed suspected of fouling.

However, of course the referee cannot change the penalty. Inter Milan can only admit that it is unlucky and seize the remaining time to score as soon as possible.

Leo created excellent opportunities one after another, but unfortunately his teammates were not in shape and could not seize them.

This made some fans unable to stand it, and coupled with the bad weather, they chose to leave early.

I wonder if they already believe that Inter Milan can't reverse the situation, and don't they have any confidence in the defending champion?
